I'm (hopefully) going to move in a couple of months, which is probably when this whole food shortage business is going to start getting serious (lol.) So right now I'm going to start planting stuff in buckets/grow bags, where I can transplant later. Anyone have any recommendations for crops that do well in buckets?

i remember hearing as a kid that native americans would plant their corn and bury a fish head with it but in reality it would rot and kill the corn

Probably things like potatoes and radishes come to mind. From what I've read most leafy greens like lettuce/arrugula don't have deep root systems so that might work too?

What size buckets are you thinking of. You can plant a tomato in a 5 gallon bucket and get some production from it. Also, I've been listening to this guy for what seems like decent garden advice to fall asleep to. He is basically the gardening version of Bob Ross https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz9VmI0tTSk

Wild carrot, also known as Queen Anne's Lace, is literally a weed

however lots of wild plants look similar and some of them are poisonous so be careful when foraging and do a lot of research into the plants in your local biome

Honestly don't even touch plants that look similar to carrot unless you really know what they are. The carrot family is filled with the worst plants that have sap which can burn your skin in sunlight. Local news in the US loves covering teens who've been hosed up by the stuff every summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viCsoaw66mk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85sNJJVapqs It's not dangerous if you're careful. But most people really aren't.

I grew heirloom tomatoes and pepper plants from a seed tray and moved the seedlings successfully to a small pot and then transplanted outside. Definitely wouldn't do salad greens, they don't move well.

Ran a weedeater for a few hours on an sunny day while wearing a short sleeve shirt and ended up with gnarly 2nd degree burns all over my arms that took weeks to really heal. Previous to that I had spent multiple summers cutting pushki basically all day at work and never had a problem, except I was always wearing long sleeves.

Actually you'll find having poisonous weeds on your property is good, keeps the neighborhood kids (and animals) out. I have Castor (the plant Ricin is made from) growing wild in my yard every year, Poke as well.

Growing the standards, but I'm experimenting with eggplants this year. I also transplanted some wild garlic.

Oh hey have a copy pasted bit from my update to this thread I keep posting on about doing farm and woodland stuff   Back at home I cropped a peashoot and lettuce salad- the two peashoot boxes to the left are from pea seed that expired in 2015 and are taking longer to sprout properly, the ones to the right are from the bachelor's brand ones and despite having to cut away vines/creeper bits the leaves were lush and tasty  The outdoor salad is looking good- I added another row of lettuce seeds to each, and I'm going to do a row of peashoots too I think  The flowerbomb project is also seeing results and I think I need to learn to use less seeds because goddamn   The bean machines are getting warmed up  These are the outdoor germination experiment results so far- peas are through nicely and will be ready for a pea machine soon, and the backup beans can go somewhere I guess ukmt crew know where beans go  The pumpkins still desperately need replanting but lol I have to go buy soil, the honesty are doing great and also need repotting and somewhere in the middle keen eyes will spot a lone chilli seeding poking through  Got at least 3 strong seedlings each of the new varieties and at least 6 of my house standard, so when I get some more soil I'm about ready for tomato factory.  The remnant beans are looking a bit sad, but their companion marigolds are going well, and a few tomato twins have been transplanted into empty cells  Here's all the potted plants from the big purchase earlier in the year- doing grand despite the overgrown patio  Come a long way in a month or two from looking like the above   The black lace elderberry has gorgeous leaves, and the berberis flowers are very popular with the bees.

And it's probably not a bad thing to see what perennials are in the pre-built Garden Area before I tear it up

I swear, after dumping a bunch of fish emulsion on them, the corn and tomatoes doubled in size in a day. Wife's snap peas came up, as did the horehound in front of them. Put the pumpkins in the ground prematurely because the roots had grown out of the 5'' pots they were started in. Gonna do the same with the watermelons tomorrow. Roquette is up everywhere it got broadcast. After work all I wanna do is smoke a joint and play in the garden. I've pretty much become my dad.

Got my cucumber seeds, dug out the rest of my 4 by 12 plot and tossed on top soil. Going to get the stuff need to fence out the deer and other critters so I should be able to start planting in the next couple of weeks if this cold snap in the northeast ever ends.

got the drip installation finished for the main garden, may have gone overboard and put in 48 0-10gph emitters so there wasn't enough water pressure to run my pots at the same time and had to run a separate line... picked up some nice pepper starts though, got an aji amarillo, some fresnos new mexicos and havasus... dogs were digging in the garden so i have to put up fencing to keep them out one nice thing about my garden location is it's next to a pile of pavers that provide a habitat for lots of pest-eating lizards

We have a number of tomato and squash seedlings growing right now. We've split them up between our house and our parents' houses so hopefully there's a better chance of at least one of us getting good yields. Going to sow spinach and carrots in a few weeks, but I need to clear and hand till a big patch of ground, which will suck.

There's no such thing as an Aeroponics-type setup where you can just put your own seeds in it, is there? I love how sleek the brandname designs are but I don't wanna get chained to buying brandname pods forever like a loving Keurig owner E: looks like there is https://www.amazon.com/AeroGarden-Grow-Anything-Seed-Pod/dp/B0042VK7LK I think I'll jump on one of these when I find a used one in the area. I have a balcony but that's just for flowers

You can also just reuse old seed pods if you add your own substrate.

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:Yes but ... they dont look as nice :P Hydroponic systems are designed for agriculture and things like weed - crops that are meant to be harvested. The underlying idea is to create an efficient system of plant nutrition that allows the plant to grow as quickly as possible and then be harvested. This doesn't really make sense for a houseplant, which is meant to be decorative, and stay more or less in the same state all the time. I guess you could try to plant a ficus in there or whatever, but then you will have a ficus that is growing with optimal efficiency and then you will soon have a very large ficus that wouldn't fit in your aeroponic system anymore, and you would have to transplant it to a pot of soil. But the other thing is, these edible plants are meant to be harvested quickly, and so I'm not sure if all different types of plants can survive in that sort of system for an extended period of time. For instance, if you planted aloe in there and quickly and efficiently grew a giant aloe, at some point I think it would be unhappy in even a large hydroponic system and would prefer to be in soil.

I’m pretty interested in getting something like that for hard to grow (in my area) herbs and vegetables. I assume they do well in these things? agreed that that rotofarm thing looks sweet.
